Richard,


Try contacting totalise.co.uk (Peter Gregory) They've recently run two

campaigns( for Venezuala and Mozambique after floods) donating �10 for each

new signing to the ISP for a limited time. I think they've donated about

�120,000 in this way and may be considering a regular scheme of donations.I

believe the founder has a background in medicine so may be particularly

interested in charities like the Red Cross.

The other model you could look at is the hungersite.com  (donations for

clicks

made by commercial sponsors) Personally I feel uncomfortable clicking away

here every day because all the sponsors are American companies and I know

that

I'm not giving them anything back. There must be room for something similar

on

this side of the Atlantic.
